You usually need a complete reference if you're going to borrow it from the library, but you can search the web by title, and get everything you need. **but** Balbuena's reference "piping for estimate" scored no hits at all and it's probably wrong and therefore worse than useless.

I did a search on "piping for estimate" and got no hits; then removed the quotes and got just over a million hits; then searched within the results using 'book' as a qualifier and narrowed it down to just over 550,000. Lots of books about piping estimation, but no 'piping for estimate.' Is it any wonder some of us old fårt moderators get a little testy?
